Gotta say, I was really looking forward to this disc.
With much ado, I popped Ladytron’s latest, “Velocifero” into the disc player last Saturday and set out for a night on the town, convinced that I had the perfect soundtrack for such an event. I was somewhat disappointed.

Portishead’s latest, "Third", was released this past Monday. I headed over to my trusty local music store to give them my hard-earned money only to find that they didn’t have it in stock. To add insult to injury ("But I crawled here on my belly through broken glass to buy that!"), they were actually playing […]
